A.B.IBRAHIM : Paddy Field, 1960’s
Est: RM2,500 - RM5,000
The artist is well-known for his rural landscape and this work is evident of that. A.B Ibrahim brings to life a local village where farmers can be seen planting their paddy seedlings. Here, the artist demonstrates his prowess, paying attention to minute details such as the light breeze that tickles the coconut fronds and the reflection of the clouds on the water amidst the clear blue skyline. The artist creates a very nostalgic and sentimental mood, reminding one of days gone by or the feeling of missing home after having been away for a long time. His tenacity in re-enacting mood and feeling as well as beautiful rustic landscapes on paper made him one of the most well-known artists in Kedah until this day.

KHALIL IBRAHIM : Lucerne Neighbourhood, 1984
Est: RM16,000 - RM25,000
There is something sublime, ethereal and yes, perhaps, even a little spiritual about the Expressionistic abstract works created by that master Malaysian artist – Khalil Ibrahim. Ever since his art apprenticeship in 1960s England (at St.Martin’s School of Art, central London) meeting Malaysian abstract/ expressionist artist Ibrahim Hussein (known for Gardu – 1968 and My Father the Astronaut – 1970) and, later, meeting with Malaysian Expressionist painter/poet Latiff Mohidin (famous for his Pago Pago series) – there had been a distinctly abstract undercurrent to many of Khalil Ibrahim’s works. There seems little doubt that studying at an English art school, learning fresh ways of seeing, coupled with having contact with artists discovering new approaches to their art and lives, changed the way Khalil approached his own artistic works. Though the master was synonymous with human figures and depictions of the East Coast, this etching shows a landscape of a faraway land.

Ibrahim Hussein, Datuk (b. 1936 - 2009) Untitled, 1984
Est: RM60,000 - RM100,000
Memories are made of these, lines weaving in and out and forming nondescript forms with the light of an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Never mind if the rambling images are undecipherable, figures and objects perhaps, incoherent even but imbued with the vivacity of living, the joie de vivre. This little parchment of friendship with the extraordinary artist Datuk Ibrahim Hussein's trademark parallel lines, like connecting bands or links running through, serves as a flash of inspiration in unscripted moments, recording a friendship once upon a time, in 1984. All the line composition is couched with a reddish tinge. The legendary Datuk Ibrahim Hussein is incontrovertibly one of Malaysia's most internationally iconic artists. He was given the prestigious Crystal Award by the World Economic Forum in 1997, and was the first Malaysian to have taken part in the Venice Biennale, under the Smithsonian Institute Workshop programme in 1970. And he was with the world's art pantheons in the tripartite exhibition in Kuwait in 1977, the other two masters being Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali. His international awards also include the XVIII Prix International D'Art Contemporain de Monte Carlo, the Order of Andres Bello of Venezuela (1993), the Order of Bernardo Higgins (Chile's highest honour to a foreigner, 1996), the Japan Foundation Cultural Award (1988), with him accorded momentous solos in Venezuela, Chile and Japan. He was accorded a retrospective by the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur in 1986. He was conferred the Datuk title three times, and awarded the Anugerah Tokoh Melayu Terbilang (2007). He had organised the Langkawi International Festival of Arts in 2000, after setting up his museum and foundation (2000) in Langkawi. With the help of his wife Datin Sim, he had also organised the Club Mediterranee Asian Arts Festival in Cherating (Pahang) and Bali (Indonesia). Ib had his art tutelage at the Byam Shaw School of Drawing and Painting and the Royal Academy in London (1963-1966). He also received a double scholarship of Fulbright and John D. Rockefeller II Fund that saw him in the United States, with two solos in New York to boot.

Ibrahim Hussein, Datuk (b. 1936 - 2009) Ada Mood, 1983-1984
Est: RM30,000 - RM50,000
Age is just a number, and not a hindrance to anything, unless one is incapacitated, or even so, for many a handicap have been known to overcome the odds. Yes, there is life, as long as one Ada Mood (has the mood), for love, for living, for struggles and for play. How often, life is about the shared laughter and memories, of time spent together, usually with a sweet platter of kueh and kopi, or teh tarik to whet the appetite. To a few maybe, such shared moments can be construed as mundane, but down the road years later, they can become something poignant and meaningful. The legendary Datuk Ibrahim Hussein is incontrovertibly one of Malaysia's most internationally iconic artists. He was given the prestigious Crystal Award by the World Economic Forum in 1997, and was the first Malaysian to have taken part in the Venice Biennale, under the Smithsonian Institute Workshop programme in 1970.

Ibrahim Hussein, Datuk (b. Kedah, 1936 - d. 2009) Hillview (Pemandangan Bukit), 1984
Est: RM380,000 - RM550,000
In Asian communities, mountains and hills with its luscious cloak of dense vegetation are imbued with spiritual forces, with the epitome of the sacred Mount Meru. Living amidst such congenial environs represents an achievement of abundance and spirit, with its vantage view, what with an affinity with beauteous Nature. Datuk Ibrahim Hussein’s Hillview is a landscape with naturally architectonic dome, with sinewy woolly lines intertwining in propitious rainbow spectrum and demarcations amidst the upper crust, against a fern-green sky backdrop. The shape within imperceptibly morphs into what can be discerned as a pohon hayat (tree of life). It’s an ideal of a paradise, with the robust lines threading and weaving, or curling like cats within its own cell, or moving inexorably in antithetical directions or motions, sometimes framed by distended ovals or domes in membranous colour. Everything is throbbing in relentless activity in this hilly terrain in an elixir of joie de vivre. The music of the soul throbs with the songs of the earth in Datuk Ibrahim’s magical crochet. With awards like the Crystal Award, participation in the hugely prestigious Venice Biennale in 1970, what with a tripartite exhibition in Kuwait in 1977 with Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali, Datuk Ibrahim Hussein is incontrovertibly Malaysia’s most internationally iconic artist. Tutelage at Byam Shaw followed by the Royal Academy in London burnished his credentials like no other. Malaysia’s National Art Gallery accorded Datuk Ibrahim a Retrospective, followed with great fanfare, in 1986. A triple Datuk and awards such as the Anugerah Tokoh Terbilang (2007), the Japan Foundation Cultural Award (1988), the Order of Andres Bello of Venezuela (1993) and the Order of Bernardo O’ Higgins of Chile (1996) made him an artist extraordinaire. He was also a visionary, setting up the Ibrahim Hussein Museum and Cultural Foundation in Langkawi in 2000 and celebrated it with the Langkawi International Festival of Arts. He also organised the Club Mediterranee Asian Arts Festival in Cherating (Pahang) and Bali.
